monkey puzzle
A monkey puzzle refers to two distinct things: 1. Monkey Puzzle Tree: It is an evergreen tree native to Argentina and Chile, scientifically known as Araucaria araucana. It is known for its distinctive and unique appearance, with spiky, scale-like leaves covering its branches resembling a "puzzle" that a monkey would not be able to climb, hence its name. 2. Problem or situation that is hard to solve or figure out: In a broader sense, "monkey puzzle" can be used figuratively to describe a perplexing or complicated problem, situation, or task that is difficult to understand or solve. It's akin to the idioms "a tough nut to crack" or "knotty problem".
